Mu Achen's anger surged, and after hanging up the call, his mind raced.
Afterwards, they arrived at the stilted building and floating pavilion, gazing at the orchard shrouded in mist, lost in thought while drinking their finest rice wine.
Time, slowly, flows by.
A young Miao man in a long skirt ran over and called to Ah Xiong, who was standing next to Mu Achen, from under the pavilion, "Brother Ah Xiong, there's a guy named Yun Kai outside the orchard. He says he has something important to discuss with Achen. Should we meet him?"
Ah Xiong glanced at Ah Chen, who was deep in thought.
After a moment, while Ah Xiong waited, Ah Chen slowly raised his eyes, turned his head and said, "Let him in."
"Good!"
Twenty minutes later---
The clouds have parted, and there's also Lei Zhan.
As soon as the two sat down, Yun Kai was about to tell Mu Achen about the group of bandits who had broken into Miao territory with weapons, but Achen interrupted him by raising his hand.
"Trying to arrest me again?"
cough cough--
Although Yun Kai was mentally prepared, he didn't expect Mu Achen to still like to tease him so much.
"Brother, I'm here because I have something important to tell you. Can you stop messing around? I'm in a real hurry."
Actually, Yun Kai desperately wanted to capture Mu Achen, but unfortunately...
It's best to just think about it; it would be a miracle if it actually came true someday.
"Since you're not here to arrest me, don't talk to me about your official business. I'm really not interested."
"Brother, it's really urgent."
"If it's urgent, just say so. As long as it's not related to your government, I'll drink and fight with you."
I--
Yun Kai's lips twitched, while Lei Zhan, though straightforward, noticed something strange about Mu Achen, as if...
It seems that the future Miao king is unwilling to discuss official business with the people in their government office.
"Ayin, bring me a bowl," Mu Achen called out to Ayin.
Soon, Ah Yin arrived with a bowl.
After taking the wine, Mu Achen poured it and said, "Old Yun, so many people want to kill me, and I just slipped right under your noses. What, are you going to collect my body?"
"Brother, you found out?" Yun Kai was shocked.
Mu Achen rolled her eyes at him, "My Black Miao branch has Miao people who have been shot, do you think I wouldn't know! But you guys are really something, weren't you supposed to be working together to sweep away bandits? You actually sent more than twenty people in carrying that kind of thing, you guys are really something."
"I--"
"What? You haven't even warmed up the chair yet and you're already getting a pounding?"
Mu Achen continued to retort without a care in the world.
Yun Kai felt like dying. He was puzzled as to what force was plotting against the future Miao King and being so foolish as to come to Miao territory to seek death.
It's one thing to be courting death, but to actually come to Yun Kai's territory to cause trouble is just adding insult to injury for Yun Kai.
"Brother, could you give Black Wind Stronghold a heads-up and let me take some men in to check out the scene?"
"No problem! But let me make this clear first, I won't stop you from going to that kind of place to play chess with the King of Hell. But you have to make arrangements for what's to come. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle both things. If something really happens, it won't just be a simple matter of being dismissed from your job."
"Is there anything else?"
"My Miao Sisters' Festival is coming soon, you know that, right?"
"Know?"
"Then I'll give you a little hint! Some wealthy businessmen will come to me to discuss business. These people are all quite influential. If they get robbed or murdered by bandits, who will be held responsible?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Kai, who was already having a headache, was about to faint.
He looked at Mu Achen with a frustrated expression, almost in tears, "Brother, aren't the sacred fruits in your orchard supposed to ripen gradually at the end of next month?"
“That’s right! But the time you mentioned is for the Starry Sky Fruit Forest. This area below, the Starry Sky Fruit Forest, didn’t you notice when you came in that it would ripen around mid-May?”
Yun Kai came in too much of a hurry. He only knew that the scenery of the Starry Sky Fruit Forest was as beautiful as a fairyland, so he had no mood to enjoy it.
Only after Mu Achen's reminder did he turn his head to the side.
It's almost 10 o'clock now, and this area is still shrouded in a thin mist.
It seemed that the sun, which had already risen high in the sky, had no warmth. Instead of dispelling the thin fog, it shone through the fog and reflected rays of light.
Especially from their location, clouds were even drifting by beneath their feet.
In such a tranquil place, with the sound of the powerful waterfall beside her, even if Yun Kai had no mood to appreciate it, she had to admit the beauty of the Miao people's deep mountains.
"Old Yun, I'll give you this information because of your hard work. As for how to ensure that those wealthy businessmen don't get into trouble when they come to Tianfeng County, you, the mountain king, will have to make the arrangements."
Mountain King?
cough cough--
Yun Kai got angry again!
He wondered who the real mountain king was. Mu Achen, you're practically holed up in the deep mountains every day. People who want to kill you can't even kill you, and if one comes, you fall one by one, and if two come, you fall two in a row.
Now that a whole bunch of them have come, they've all perished!
The key point is, how can you sit still after such a big thing happening? You're actually thinking of causing trouble for me!
"Brother, can't you wait until we solve the case before letting those wealthy businessmen in to discuss business with you?"
"What do you mean? What if you can't break through it? Will my Miao family's fruit just rot in the orchard? Can you afford to compensate us for that?!"
Mu Achen downed a bowl of rice wine, and just as Yun Kai was about to collapse, he said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore! Old Yun, as long as you handle things well outside, that will be a real achievement."
